GitHub Copilots usage-based billing is live: Heres what you need to know

▤ Summary

GitHub has replaced Copilot’s premium request model with usage-based, token-driven billing. The company also launched Copilot Max, a new higher-tier plan for heavy AI users, and kept existing business and enterprise seat pricing unchanged. Organizations now get pooled credits plus new budget controls that change how admins manage Copilot consumption and overage risk. GitHub also updated Copilot code review billing and added organization-level runner settings to reduce admin overhead. Teams will need to review model usage, budgets, and potential cost exposure as the new pricing model takes effect.
